For the damages.

Luke! What happened?

I got into a fight with

some guys at school.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Some seniors were picking on me.

It's no big deal.

Why were they picking on you?

I don't know, okay. I'm just going

to go to my room, all right.

Is he all right?

Yes, ma'am, he's fine.

Did he get in trouble at the school?

No, no one saw. It's just the

usual high school stuff, you know.

I told him I'd teach him some

self-defense when he's feeling up to it.

I'm sure that's exactly what he needs.

Well, I am very relieved

that you were there.

I'm going to get ready for Kristen's.

Anna, can we talk in the kitchen?

Sure.

Excuse us.

What?

Invite him to the party.

- Why?

- 'Cause he's lonely, sweetie.

Caleb would really love that.

Really? You're going to pull that card?

Yes.

David, would you like to come

to the party with me tonight?

Sure, that sounds nice.

Great. I'm going to leave around 7:00.

All right.

Luke, I need to take a shower.

Luke!

Luke, come on, I need to...

I'm sorry...

No, I'm sorry,

I thought Luke was in there.

Oh, I guess I better go get dressed.

Yeah, yeah.

You should, probably do that.

So, this isn't a big deal or anything,

but this isn't just Kristen's place.

My boyfriend, Zeke, lives here, too.

I didn't know you had a boyfriend.

Yeah, well, neither do my parents.

And I wouldn't mind keeping it

that way, if that's cool with you.

I won't say anything.

It's none of my business.

- Hi.

- Hey.

Hey, who's this?

This is David, he was

friends with my brother Caleb.

- I told you about him.

- How do you do?

Fine, thank you.

Zeke's inside smoking. He was

waiting for help to carry the kegs.

I'll bring them in.

Where are they?

They're in Zeke's van.

It should be unlocked.

Anna?

No. I can't tonight. I wish.

What? Really?

What? Your houseguest?

Yeah, he's...

Where do you want these?

Well, you can set them right here.

My man, welcome to the party.

Craig, no.

It's fine. He's a big boy.

Sure.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You wanna...

Yeah, let's go.

God damn it.

Who are they?

No. That's my ex. The one I

was just telling you about.

Hey, I need to talk to you.

I'm busy right now, Drew.

I've been calling you all week,

and then I hear you're

having a party tonight?

What the f***?

I'm talking to my friend.

You're being rude.

All right, listen, just...

Come here...

Motherf***er!

Get him out of here.

Sorry about your picture.

No, don't worry about it.

Did you...

Did you want to see

the rest of the house?

Are you okay?

Yeah. Why?

Seems like you're not really into this.

Oh, I am.

You are.

Hey, there they are.
